My M.E. Specialist asked for Prolactin and Testosterone blood tests. They have come back as follows :-

Serum prolactin level 160 mlU/L (102.0 - 496.0)

Serum testosterone level 0.7 no l/L (0.1 - 1.4)

Normal, no further action.

Knowing that other tests when in range are not always favourable levels for everyone with thyroid issues, I would be grateful if someone could please give their opinion on these tests results.

Many thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Maria

I’m not knowledgeable on these hormones but I would say it is incredibly difficult to say anything about them in isolation. How you are feeling - symptoms (the most important diagnostic), your current thyroid and vitamin levels (with ranges) and any other information would really help people understand and offer their lived experience advice.

I have filled in my bio as I know I can point people towards it as an example, but also, if I keep it updated it is a great resource to others on the forum if I need advice. Click on my face to see it.

I would encourage you to do this and then you will get a more meaningful response. Beware of anyone who would advise on so little information. 😉👍

Sorry, no I can't help. This is beyond the scope of our forum, which is focussed on thyroid hormones.

There are a couple of members here that may be able to point you in the right direction for getting help on this TiggerMe FancyPants54
